White Fear

”““Roland Martin is one of the great journalists of our time … This book is another grand example of his brilliance and courage!”” —Dr. Cornel West ““America is spinning out of control. But as most pundits struggle to understand why, Roland Martin nails it: what rests at the heart of the nation’s chaos is white fear of multiracial, pluralistic democracy … Thankfully, Martin shows us a way out of the mess, if the nation is prepared to listen.”” —Tim Wise, author of White Like Me and Dispatches from the Race War ““It’s time to tell the truth about who our earliest citizens were, and, by so doing, give those who are descendants of those earliest citizens the information about the brilliance of those who came before us, and who will be here long after we ‘white’ folks have gone. Once we get this information into every classroom in the US, we will all stop seeing ‘race’ as real and start appreciating all of us as we are.”” —Jane Elliott, anti-racist lecturer, author, and creator of the world-renowned ““Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes Exercise”” ““Fear is at the root of almost every injustice—fear of the other, fear that is created by false assumptions, or fear created by a desire for power. Roland Martin’s book addresses a particular kind of fear that has been both the backdrop and forefront of racism in this country … This is an important read for all people, regardless of your race and color. Understand white fear so you can release and resist it.”” —Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, author of We Are Called to Be a Movement ““Roland always tells it like it is. This book is no different—GOSPEL truth. The question here for White folks is timely and is incumbent upon them to answer: what will you do with your fear and how will you respond to this clarion call?”” —Angela Rye, CEO of IMPACT Strategies and former CNN commentator ““Roland Martin has always been such a necessary voice to the national discourse. He beautifully occupies space at the intersection of journalism, Blackness, and truth telling, and he does so brilliantly in his new book White Fear.”” —Tiffany Cross, host of MSNBC’s Cross Connection“
